Synopsis
This documentary, directed by Boaz Davidson, was originally intended to warn youth against drug abuse. The film offers an intimate portrait of Shmuel Adi, known as Handsome Jimmy, a 29-year-old man who lives in Tel Aviv and is addicted to opiates and other drugs. In his unique speaking style, Jimmy talks candidly about his struggles and the loneliness of being an addict. The soundtrack features Shalom Hanoch’s song “Children of Life,” written especially for the film.
